I would be wary of using this company
I wrote a children’s book with no prior experience in publishing and chose AuthorHouse to help guide me through the process. Unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing. I paid what I now realize was a very high upfront fee to publish my book. Only after paying did I learn that little to no meaningful marketing support was included. Instead, I was repeatedly encouraged to spend additional money on marketing services, with no clear explanation of the results or value. At the same time, I struggled to get answers to basic questions. The website that was supposed to be set up for my book was never clearly completed or explained, and I received little to no communication when I asked about it. I was also not given clear information on how to track book sales or understand royalties. Most concerning, I did not receive clear answers regarding payments for books sold. This lack of transparency and communication made the entire experience frustrating and concerning. If you are a first-time author, I strongly recommend doing extensive research before committing to any paid publishing service. I wish I had better understood the process and what was (and wasn’t) included before making this investment.
